l have a weathermaster xl which is leaking in several places.Its been a good tent, but has now started leaking from the roof seams. Also a bad leak from zip and ground sheet.Its the roof seam which is the great problem as i feel the other leaks can be patched. Have tried the glue on seams, but no joy.Its a shame to have to bin this tent as i feel a little bit of repair if possible would save it. Is it possible to repair or is it bin time?

Hi
McNett seam sealer is normally pretty good applied to the seam on the inside and then spray the seam on the outside with Fabsil. If the combination of those two doesnt work then maybe the dustbin is calling

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again
